    I've wanted a Bushcraft-style fixed blade for a while. Even if I never get it out of the backyard, it seems practical.

    MD Shooters is costly like this.

    I found this one on Etsy.

    Hand made from 1095 steel. This is a high quality and reliable knife. The design is modeled after a boot knife from the 19th century. This knife is every bit as functional as high dollar survival/bushcraft knives.

    Blade material: 1095 high carbon steel
    Blade thickness: heavy 1/8 in spine
    Grind: hollow
    Lanyard hole: yes
    Grip material: walnut

    Comes with the brown sheath pictured, note the loop for a fire steel/ferro rod.

    The blade is one solid piece that runs the length of the knife (full tang).

    This knife comes hair popping sharp.


    I'm pleased!. $45 plus shipping from a maker in Ohio. (Ignore the dates in the photos.)

    Nice knife. Looked at the etsy site (www.etsy.com), and searched under "knife". It came up with a bunch of nice looking and interesting knives. Thanks for the lead on the site.

    That knife was made from a file, like an Anza. The spine shows the remnants of the file. If it was properly annealed, you have a decent knife. If not, you have a brittle, inferior blade. I'm betting that for $45.00, you have the latter. Good luck.
